Planet

Planet: the names of the planets are sometimes introduced under the astronomical signs which are used to note them. (See under Letters.) The planet Venus occurs in the crest of CHAMBERS, but has not been observed in any coats of arms.

Blazoning by the name of Planets was invented by certain fanciful heralds in the seventeenth century, and the names employed will be found under Tinctures.
